Chevrolet 2007 Avalanche, Owner'S Manual, Page: 466 / 628

A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and
DEX-COOL
®
coolant will:
•
Give freezing protection down
to
−
34°F (
−
37°C).
•
Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
•
Protect against rust and corrosion.
•
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
•
Let the warning lights and gages work as they
should.
Notice: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL
®
may cause premature engine, heater core, or
radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine
coolant may require changing sooner, at
the first maintenance service after each
30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Always use
DEX-COOL
®
(silicate-free) coolant in your
vehicle.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean, drinkable water
and one-half DEX-COOL
®
coolant which will
not damage aluminum parts. If you use this coolant
mixture, you do not need to add anything else.
{
CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to your cooling
system can be dangerous. Plain water, or
some other liquid such as alcohol, can
boil before the proper coolant mixture will.
Your vehicle’s coolant warning system is
set for the proper coolant mixture. With
plain water or the wrong mixture, your
engine could get too hot but you would
not get the overheat warning. Your engine
could catch fire and you or others could
be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX-COOL
®
coolant.
